I was using AntiVir 7 classic but after reading the comments in this thread and looking at the virus.gr list I have switched to AOL Kaspersky. It uses a bit more resources, but for the highest detection rate out there its not that bad of a trade off.

I just installed AOL's AVS and it so far so good it detected 12 corrupted files though on my storage HDD. Anyone know how to find out what these files are???

*GASP* It even comes packaged as an MSI! Be-still my heart! *falls over dead*

Phew! For a second there I thought the world was coming to an end until I found this. But not to worry, AOL is still releasing cr@p.
